Love At First Sight

chapter VIII

"This is a catastrophe!" Dunk whined.

"What is wrong again?" Phuwin asked.

"Joong is leaving me." Dunk wailed.

"Why do you put it like that? I am not leaving you, I am just going to Turkey for a week." Joong explained before Phuwin and Pond got the wrong idea.

"Oh! Forget I asked." Phuwin said, taking a seat next to Pond.

"How am I going to survive? An entire week without your kisses and hugs?" Dunk whined.

"Oh baby!" Joong hugged Dunk, peppering his pretty face with kisses.

"It's terrible." Dunk frowned.

"You can come with me. My mom would love to meet you." Joong coerced.

"I can't! I have a schedule next week." Dunk whined, hiding his face in the crook of Joong's neck.

"I will call you every day and bombard you with so many texts that you will be annoyed with me." Joong said, running his hand through Dunk's hair.

"I will never be annoyed with you, I love you, baby." Dunk said softly.

"I love you too, baby." Joong replied.

"You guys make me sick. It's literally just a week." Phuwin commented.

"Let's leave the lovebirds alone, Phuwin." Pond says as he grabbed his boyfriends wrist to lead them out of the room.

Joong and Dunk are always like this. In the public's eyes, Dunk is more reserved as compared to Joong, who tends to be a little intense in his love.

So Dunk was left alone that week. Well, he wasn't technically alone with his uni friends and work friends there with but without Joong, it felt the same anyway. Joong did keep to his promise and texted him every day, keeping him updated on his life. Dunk got to talk to Joong's siblings and mother, who just absolutely adored him.

"I think my mom likes me more than you at this point." Joong said to him over facetime.

"Good!" Dunk said with a smile, gracing his lips. "This is payback for stealing all of my mom's and nan's love to yourself."

"I am happy she loves you, will make it the easier when I get to marry you." Joong said dreamily.

"I- you- what?" Dunk fumbled, trying to reply.

"I am saying I want to marry you, Dunk." Joong said clearly.

"You- what? No, that is absolutely not allowed Archen Ayden! You are not allowed to propose to me on facetime in another country! I deserved to be wined and dined and proposed to with a big diamond ring! 12 caracts." Dunk pouted, but his cheeks were turned rosy pink.

"And that is absolutely valid, my love. My mother would skin me alive knowing that I proposed to her dear son-in-law over facetime. I am just making my intentions clear. You, Dunk Natachai, are reserved to be my husband." Joong said with a mild chuckle.

"Not fair!" Dunk pouted. "You are not allowed to be all cute and romantic when you are so far away. I can't even kiss your stupidly handsome face."

"My apologies! I will make sure to be cute and romantic when we see each other again so you can kiss my stupidly handsome face." Joong said, chuckling.

"That’s it! I am going to bed. My heart can not take this." Dunk protested.

"Goodnight then, my love." Joong said softly. "I love you."

"Goodnight, Archen. I love you so much." Dunk responded.

The next several days were spent the same way with Joong professing his love any chance he got and making sure to keep his boyfriend flustered with all the comments he bestowed upon him. Dunk, on the other hand, tried to play it cool like he didn't miss Joong at all, especially when he hung out with his friends.

"Joong is coming back tomorrow. You must be ecstatic." Pond comments.

Ecstatic? The word doesn't even begin to describe how happy Dunk feels. He is beyond ecstatic. There aren't words invented yet to describe how he feels, knowing he gets to touch and kiss his amazingly handsome boyfriend again.

"Yeah, I guess." Dunk shrugs while picking at his food.

"You guess? Are you two okay?" Phuwin asks because normally Joong and Dunk are annoyingly in love all the time.

"Yeah, Dunk, did you two have a fight?" Pond asks equally concerned. Him and Phuwin may find Joong and Dunk's clinginess absolutely annoying, but the two are their best friends, and they would rather watch them be annoyingly in love than whatever this is.

"Of course we are okay. Why wouldn't you be?" Dunk responds, feigning nonchalance. 

"It's just you are acting weird." Pond says carefully.

Dunk was about to continue his act when Joong facetimed him, and he lost all composure.

"Hey baby!" Dunk answers the phone practically beaming at the screen. Both Pond and Phuwin roll their eyes.

"Hey, beautiful! I miss you." Joong says with a huge grin on his face. Dunk could see Joong's siblings lingering in the background.

"I miss you more! Come home, or I am pretty sure I will die without your hugs! I am love deprived Joong! I need hugs." Dunk pouts.

"I will give you as many hugs and kisses your heart desires, my love." Joong replies, chuckling.

"They are so disgustingly in love." Phuwin says with a small smile on his face.

"Mn." Pond agrees.

Pond and Phuwin decide to leave Dunk and Joong to facetime in peace because Phuwin told Pond if he has to hear one more time Joong call Dunk a pretty fairy he is going to throw up. Nonetheless, they are happy that their best friends are still sickly in love like the first time they got together or even met because the two were a perfect example of love at first sight.

The next morning, Dunk is vibrating with excitement at getting to see his boyfriend.  They have been only a week apart, but to him, it feels longer. He spends the rest of the day completing tasks and making sure that nothing is going to disturb his time with the love of his life.

When noon rocks up, he gets dressed in his finest outfit and styles his hair to perfection. He wants Joong to fall in love with him all over again when he sees him.

The drive to the airport feels like forever, but in reality, it was probably just like 20 minutes max.

The moment he saw Joong again, his heart stopped before it hammered violently in his chest because Joong looked breathtaking in baggy blue jeans, white tank top paired with a white floral  button shirt.

Dunk flung himself to Joong, who caught him just in time to pull him into a tight hug.

"I missed you." Dunk says, his face buried in the crook of Joongs neck.

"I missed you more fancy face." Joong replies and placed a few kisses of the temple of Dunk's temple.

"Let's go home." Dunk whispers clinging on to his boyfriend.

"Mn... Home." Joong responds. 

"I really missed you." Dunk beams at his boyfriend, Joong smiles fondly at Dunk.

"Not as much as I missed you fancy face." Joong says softly.

"Fancy face huh? I like that." Dunk says with a chuckle.

Joong pulls him closer, placing his hands on his hips and kisses him.

TBC..... honestly it's just fluff with no plot.
